The Cavaliers are kicking the tires of perhaps the top remaining free agents.

Unrestricted free agent Ersan Ilyasova, who has played the last four seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, could make a visit to Cleveland "sometime next week," agent Andy Miller said. "We're having ongoing discussions."

The 6-foot-10, 235-pound power forward averaged 13 points and 8.8 rebounds last season for the Bucks. He shot 49.2 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from the 3-point line.

The Turkey native is a "stretch 4," who has evolved into one of the top 3-point threats in the league.

"The marketplace has settled," Miller said. "(The Cavs have) done an analysis of it. They are a big fan of Ersan."

Media reports indicate the Bucks offered Ilyasova a five-year, $40 million deal. The Cavs have plenty of salary-cap space, but it would be a bit shocking if they used it on a sizeable deal like Ilyasova would demand.

On the other hand, he's 25 and would fit into the Cavs' rebuilding process.

Miller said they are "exploring all options.

"I'm making sure he's up to speed. I'll continue to do an analysis on both the short term and long term."

The Bucks might be the favorite to re-sign him. He's married and is starting to raise a family in the Milwaukee area.

"I don't know where (the Bucks) are sitting," Miller said. "I don't know where Milwaukee wants to sit. He has an affinity for Milwaukee. He's lived there and is starting to raise a family there.

"We'll see how it unfolds."

Miller said he thinks Ilyasova is the top remaining free agent.

"I thought he was at the beginning of this process," he said. "He's a young up-and-coming talent. He's yet to reach his ceiling. He's a tough, hard-nosed player, who is all about winning. The sky is the limit for him."

He averaged 18 points and 7.5 rebounds in four games against the Cavs last season. That included a 22-point, eight-rebound performance on March 14.

The Cavs have also been linked to free agent guard Derek Fisher, who played last season for Oklahoma City. Other teams that have shown interest, according to the New York Times, are Brooklyn, Dallas, Chicago and the Thunder.
